Safari wear should be comfortable and casual. Evenings and early mornings can be chilly so warm sweaters are recommended. Low heeled comfortable sports or trekking shoes are the most suitable walking shoes should you intend joining any walking safaris.

We recommend you bring warm clothes, including a fleece or light wool sweater and socks, to their normal safari gear. During the day it can get quite hot so don’t forget sunglasses and a high factor sunscreen, as well as a sun hat with a small brim.

Some specialist trips, i.e. mountain climbing, require extra items of clothing and footwear. Many hotels, lodges and camps have swimming pools so you are advised to bring swimsuits.

Due to limited space in the vehicle and light aircraft, we advise you to keep your luggage to the minimum. We suggest you pack your luggage into a small bag of no more than 15 kgs – the luggage limit for local flights issued by the airlines. Almost all safari lodges and camps provide same day laundry service.

The ultimate adventure on Kenya safaris! Witness the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, where millions of antelopes, zebras and wildebeest cross the savanna landscape from July to October.

With a little luck, you can see the Big Five in Tsavo East national park. This park is less developed than its western counterpart. Hippos and crocodiles are also found here. The variety of species and the endless bush landscapes are a highlight during your trip to Africa.

The northern coast of Kenya, traversed by dream beaches, is the ultimate destination for outdoor adventures and relaxation. Discover a colourful underwater world when you go snorkelling, or soak up the sun on one of the palm-lined beaches.

Witnessing the flamingos at Lake Bogoria is a very special natural spectacle. Over one million of these graceful birds can be found fishing in the lake for their feast of delicious algae

The journey to the remote Lake Turkana is painstaking, but a most worthwhile adventure. The world’s largest desert lake awaits you, surrounded by a surreal landscape. Be on your guard for sharp teeth! Nowhere else in Africa are there so many Nile crocodiles as in Lake Turkana!

Fans of the book out of Africa should plan a visit to the Karen Blixen in Nairobi this is where the shootings of the movie of the same name were filmed. You will not only learn about the life of the famous Danish author but also the changing history of Kenya

If you are yearning the great outdoors then we recommend a hike in the foothills of MT Kenya Kenya’s second highest mountain. In addition to the fantastic views of this snow-capped mountain range, you may also see rare rhinos.

The old town of Lamu is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The unique architecture reflects Portuguese, Arabic and Indian influences. This almost car-free town has preserved its charm to this day and is particularly interesting if you are seeking more of a cultural tour of Kenya.

https://busheyes.com/kenyan-cuisine/#respondTue, 13 Jun 2017 04:12:03 +0000http://wordpress.templaza.net/xml/aventura/?p=766The varied cultural influences in Kenya are seen most prevalently in the country’s cuisines. Only on the coast will you discover a distinctive regional culinary style. On your Kenya safari, you’ll find that many of the foods are simple yet often quite heavy and starchy and include potatoes and rice. There is nothing better to explore than these Kenyan delicacies!!!!

You can enjoy some traditional foodstuffs during one of our Kenya tours, including:

Ugali: a cornmeal dough, usually served with chicken, beef, goat or vegetable stew

Irio: mashed green peas and potato, with corn kernels

Githeri: boiled beans, corn kernels, mixed vegetables and seasoning

Wali Wa Nazi: white rice with grated coconut, served with fresh fish/chicken curry or vegetables and popular along the coastline of the Indian Ocean

Mutura: a real Kenyan sausage – goat intestine wrappers stuffed with ground meat parts and goat blood, boiled and then grilled. This is a must try for the adventurous gastronome!

NyamaChoma: roasted/grilled feast of mutton, goat or beef

With a strong Indian influence, it is not unusual to enjoy curries, chapatis (flatbread), pilau, samosa and bajias (seasoned, deep fried vegetables/potatoes served with chutneys).

During your Kenya safari, you’ll find that generally most dishes are prepared in European style. Camps and lodges in the parks and game reserves take guests on full board basis or fully inclusive, therefore all the meals are provided.
